BY THESE PRESENTS SHALL YE KNOW THEM . . . Mississippi Staters have for some years prided themselves on the fact that they have one of the friendliest colleges in the South. The students keep up the generations-old tradition that State students speak to everybody, whether they have been introduced or not. Keeping up with the students as usual, the members of the faculty are themselves examples of good humor and friendliness. Inasmuch as the offices of all officers of the college, the Deans, and the Profs are always open to students, Staters have come to admire and honestly like their masters. In the inevitable bull-sessions, State students love to discuss the men whose pictures have just appeared in this sec- tion of the book. We are printing below one idiosyncracy or eccentricity of each, so that for years to come Staters may actually remember these men as they appear in the thoughts of the students they came in contact with. Dr. Fred Mitchell . . . Overcoat worn over huge shoulders like a cape. Dr. Hand . . . His high white collars and his inevitable greetings to students, Hi, boy. Mr. Mallory . . . His going out of his way to help students understand what is wrong with their cash accounts in his office. Too new as yet to be identified by a personal characteristic. Mr. Ben Hilrun . . . That famous grin and equally famous unlit cigar in the mouth. Major Sessums . . . His steady, plodding, never-hurried calm walk, and the fact that he never seems to sleep, as he is always on the spot in case of trouble. Dean Brooks . . . His famous, always-imitated manner of speaking very slowly with deafening silent pauses. Dean Drennon ... A very-lately acquired penchant for wearing different and original ties. Also, his delightful slightly-accented voice. Dean Lyle . . . His remarkable taste in wearing clothes that both become and dignify him. Dean Colmer ... A lit cigar in his mouth, and the hugeness of his body frame. Dean Patterson . . . His quizically -raised eyebrow, and his willingness to enter into conversations. These men may never have noticed their printed characteristics, but many students swear that they are true. Either way, they are personal representations of our fellow Swell Fellows. 23

The Classes. The following pages contain pictures of the members of the students en- rolled in classes at Mississippi State College. It has often been said that a student should not let his classes interfere with his college career. Here at State the members of all classes (Senior, Freshman, Junior, Sophomore) work in harmonious cooperation to better their life while here at college. Some are average, some are radical, others are heinous ... all add up to make what we term the great student body of a great institution.
